Luka who's coming! Real Madrid in blunder as Modric profile is posted on club website

Real Madrid were involved in an embarrassing gaffe on Wednesday when a profile of Tottenham midfielder Luka Modric appeared on the club's official website, listing the Croatian as one of their own players.

Modric's proposed moved to the Spanish capital is one of the summer's most protracted sagas, but, despite what you may have real on realmadrid.com, he remains a Spurs player for now.

The profile, which described the 26-year-old as being a Madrid player since 2012 and listed 'Tottenham (2008-2012)' under his previous clubs, was quickly removed and blamed on a hacker - but not before thousands viewed it.

Madrid boss Jose Mourinho - who has made no secret of his admiration for the diminutive playmaker - is yet to make a signing this summer, having focused all of the club's attention on securing a deal for Modric.

Tottenham, however, are driving a hard bargain for the man they paid Dinamo Zagreb £15million for, demanding that Madrid stump up £40m for their No 1 target.

Modric's departure would be the latest in a long line of White Hart Lane exits this summer.

Six of last season's first-team have left already, with Michael Dawson, Tom Huddlestone, David Bentley, Jermaine Jenas and Heurelho Gomes all looking set to follow Modric out of the door and make it a dozen departures since new manager Andre Villas-Boas took over in June.

The Modric saga will be concluded before the transfer window closes next week.
